IPG-Independent Publishers Group Operation Basalt The British Raid on Sark and Hitler's Commando Order Eric Lee
Summary Operation Basalt was a raid carried out by British commandos on the island of Sark on the night of October 3-4, 1942.

Using the National Archive in Kew and the Sark Society archives, Eric Lee tells the 9780750964364 Basalt story for the first time. Did the commandos kill bound and unarmed German soldiers?

IPG-Independent Publishers Group Sennen Cove Lifeboats An Illustrated History Nicholas Leach
Summary Considered one of the most treacherous areas of Britain’s coastline, Land’s End has seen many shipwrecks over the past 2,000 years. Where the waters of the Atlantic meet those of the English Channel, storms are frequent and violent and have caught out many a ship. Thousands have been dashed against the rocky granite coast.

Narrow Boat L T C Rolt
Summary First published in 1944, this fully illustrated book has become a classic on its subject, and may be said to have started a revival of interest in the English waterways. It was on a spring day in 1939 that L. T. C. Rolt first stepped aboard Cressy. This engaging book tells the story of how he and his wife adapted and fitted out the boat as a home and recreates the journey of some 400 miles that they made along the network of waterways in the Midlands. It recalls the boatmen and their craft, and celebrates the then seemingly timeless nature of the English countryside through which they passed. As Sir Compton Mackenzie wrote, "it is an elegy of classic restraint unmarred by any trace of sentiment" for a way of life and a rural landscape which have now all but disappeared.

IPG-Independent Publishers Group Britannia's Dragon A Naval History of Wales J. D. Davies
Summary Wales has a long coastline, and nowhere is more than about 40 miles from the sea or a navigable river. From the earliest times, Welshmen have used the sea and the sea has shaped the history of the country. Seapower was arguably one of the most decisive factors in ending the nation's independence. The Welsh contribution to piracy has long been recognized, and Britannia's Dragon presents new and sometimes surprising evidence, such as the fact that relative to the populations of the retrospective countries, proportionately more Welshmen fought at Trafalgar than Scots, Irishmen or even Englishmen. The book also examines the invaluable contribution made by Welsh industry —especially coal and copper—to naval history, and considers such themes as shipbuilding and 9780752470139 shipwrecks.

IPG-Independent Publishers Group Wooden Fishing Boats of Scotland James Pottinger
Summary With the gradual phasing out of wooden fishing boats of Scotland it is timely to record some of these handsome vessels. The general opinion is that in the era 1960-80 builders produced some of the most shapely and graceful craft, a testament to the skill of the boat builders and designers. Initially the designs were a collaboration of builders and skippers, but later the implementation of statutory rules demanded a more structured approach by qualified naval architects, which inevitably resulted in a certain degree of standardisation. In contrast to James A. Pottinger’s earlier books, which included all types of Scottish fishing boats both large and small, this new illustrated volume concentrates solely on the graceful wooden boats, regarded by many to be the best looking boats of all, with 9780752487571 some images of initial keel and backbone construction through to the melancholy sight of beautiful Pub Date: 3/1/13 craft being cut up. In earlier days such boats were scrapped only due to old age, but sadly political $27.95 factors now often dictate the destruction of classic wooden craft. Trade Paperback

Summary In 1603 John Ward, a sailor in James VI & I’s navy, led a mass desertion, stole a civilian vessel from Portsmouth, and defected to the Ottoman Empire at Tunis.

Summary Dissecting the conflicting views of the golden age of pirates—as romanticized villains on one hand and genuine social rebels on the other—this fascinating chronicle explores the political and cultural significance of these nomadic outlaws by examining a wide range of ethnographical, sociological, and philosophical standards.

Asserting that pirates came in all 9781604860528 shapes, sexes, and sizes, this engaging study ultimately portrays pirates not just as mere thieves Pub Date: 1/1/10 and killers but as radical activists with their own society and moral code fighting against an empire. $20.00 Trade Paperback Contributor Bio 272 Pages Gabriel Kuhn is the author of Sober Living for the Revolution: Hardcore Punk, Straight Edge, and Radical Carton Qty: 40 Politics and Women Pirates and the Politics of the Jolly Roger .

Summary Malta 1941. To most people HMS Saracen is just an ugly, obsolete ship with an equally ugly recent history: her last commander is due for court-martial after shelling the troops he was sent to protect.

Summary As the captain of a useful frigate, Thomas Kydd is claimed by the Leeward Islands station, exchanging the harsh situation in South America for the warmth and delights of the Caribbean. It’s a sea change for Kydd, who revisits the places and people that figured in his time as a young seaman. Some are nostalgic and pleasing, while others bring challenges of a personal nature. In Europe, Napoleon is triumphant on land, but so far away in the Caribbean, Kydd and the others feel secure and make the most of running down prizes and sending off fat convoys of sugar to England. But, in a stroke of genius, Bonaparte finds a way to take revenge for Trafalgar and shocks Kydd out of complacency when an element from his past returns and Kydd is accused of murder. In a stroke of 9781590136720 irony, it is that same past that may just provide Kydd the means to clear his name.

The Wreck of the Titan Morgan Robertson, Sam Leith
Summary Once seen as a prediction of the sinking of the Titanic , this novella was written 14 years before that ill-fated event of 1912—now, on the centenary anniversary of the Titanic's sinking, the striking similarities can be examined again in this new edition John Rowland, a disgraced former Royal Navy lieutenant, has taken employment as a lowly deck hand aboard the largest ship ever to have sailed, the Titan . One night in deep fog, the ship strikes a gigantic iceberg and sinks almost immediately. Written 14 years before the Titanic's sinking, this novella has been hailed in equal measures as a prophetic work and the work of pure coincidence. Certainly the similarities are striking: two unsinkable ships steam ahead in treacherous conditions, carrying privileged passengers, with insufficient lifeboats aboard. 9781843913597 Contributor Bio Pub Date: 5/3/12 $14.95 Morgan Robertson (1861–1915) was an American author of short stories and novels, the best-known Trade Paperback being Wreck of the Titan .
